The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Zhang Feizi saluted again, and said with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, since the opening of the school on September 15, 420, the 12 schools in the seven counties of the Great Qin Pass have recruited a total of 420 students, and the [-] schools have recruited [-] students in total. There are ten thousand teachers!"

"In November of the 15th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, a total of 8000 people from the Jin Empire escaped from the Jin territory and poured into our Daqin East County. Among the 8000 people, 8000 were children under the age of eight, and some 4000 are men above and below the age of 50, and the remaining 6000 are women of various ages!"

"The Jin people who flooded into Hedong County of the Great Qin Dynasty from the Jin Empire were ordered by the Prime Minister Zuo to take in the Jin people in various places in Hedong County. Therefore, 1 mu of fertile land was allocated to Jin people to settle down!"

"Among these Jin people are not only the students of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also the masters of the schools in various places. The number of masters in the Jin Empire was 200. Not only Jin people entered the Qin Dynasty, but also Zhongshan people, Qi people, and Qi people. The number of people who entered the Qin Dynasty was 4, students accounted for [-]% of the number, masters accounted for half of the number, and the rest were accompanying adults!"

"Forty-two thousand Qi people, I divided them into two groups, one group was placed in Nanyang County, and the other group was placed in Guangfeng County. The two counties of Guangfeng and Nanyang also allocated more than 4 acres of fertile land for Qi people to settle down. , The number of Zhongshan country invaders is 2, students account for 9000%, teachers account for half, and the rest are accompanying adults!"

"The minister divided the Zhongshan people into three groups. One group was placed in Huainan County, the other group was placed in Shangyang County, and the other group was placed in Hexi County. The three counties also allocated nearly 15 mu of fertile land for the Qi people to settle down. After reckoning, I have been in the Holy Qin Dynasty for 14 years, and I have attracted a total of 9000 people from all over the world to enter the Qin Dynasty, and allocated a total of 25 mu of fertile land, all of which were purchased by the government from the common people, and cost a total of [-] taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty's budget for the Chinese Academy last year was 300 million taels of silver, and now 300 million of the 170 million taels of silver have been spent, and there are still 130 million taels of silver left!"

While listening, Ying Chang tapped the armrest of the dragon chair rhythmically, making a slight ding ding sound. After listening to Zhang Feizi's report, he looked at the officer queue with a smile and said, "Have you heard everything?" ? In just a few months, nearly 15 people have been attracted to Qin!"

"I reckon that if we wait a little longer, Zhao, Yan, Han, Chu, Xia, Yue and other countries will hear the news, and it is estimated that a large number of people from other countries will enter Qin. Will be buffered!"

When he said this, Ying Chang's face changed, the smile on his face disappeared, and he turned to say solemnly: "The entry of people from all countries into Qin will more or less cause unnecessary disputes. I want to say What’s more, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to discriminate against those who entered Qin from other countries. They came to Daqin and got the land of Daqin.

After hearing these words, all the ministers bowed down in unison and shouted: "I will obey your Majesty's instructions!"

"It's good for you to be clear in your own hearts, that's enough, if you want to start playing, hurry up and start playing!" Ying Chang said calmly and calmly.

After the words fell, Jia Luo, Minister of the Household Department, walked out of the official queue, bent down respectfully and wrote a report: "I report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied softly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as of December 15th, 15th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the seven counties in the Daqin Pass had a new population of 40 in the 14th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty. With a population increase of 9000 and 31 births, old ages, illnesses and deaths, the population of the seven counties in Daqin Pass has now reached 460 million, which is 14 more than that of Shengqin in 46 years!"

"The population of the 14 counties outside the Daqin Pass reached 24 million, which is 6 more than that of Shengqin in 320. Among the 86 million population, 870 million were slaves and 14 were civilians. The population reached 70 million, nearly [-] more than the population of Shengqin in [-]!"

“关内七郡4605万人口当中，河北郡占75万；河东郡占80万；淮南郡占75万；南阳郡占68万；广丰郡占63万；河西郡占59万；上阳郡占45万！”

"The average population of the seventeen counties outside the pass is 23. Adding up the outside and inside of the pass, our Daqin has a labor force of more than 110 million. If there is a war, our Daqin treasury can store grain and expand the army by one million!" Jia Luo looked passionate and full of energy. Report the population situation to Yingchang.

"hiss"

"Da Qin also has the background of having millions of soldiers. My Da Qin has really become stronger!"

"With the national strength of my Great Qin, I am afraid that apart from the Wei Empire, which can be compared with my Great Qin, no other country dares to compete with my Great Qin!"

"Don't be complacent. I heard that the little emperor of the Zhao Empire is very powerful. Under his rule, the Zhao Empire has become the most powerful empire in the northern countries. This Zhao Empire will be the strongest enemy of our Great Qin in the northwest region!"

"That's right, Zhao Didan of the Zhao Empire is also a young hero, Zhao people often compare Zhao Didan with His Majesty."

"It's a joke, how can it be the same as His Majesty, the two are not at the same level at all!"

"That's right. Your Majesty's enthronement was full of crises in the early stage. It can be said that he saved the country and the people from the fire and water. But what about Zhao Didan? , Zhao Didan has the advantage, but in terms of achievements, Zhao Didan is not even qualified to give His Majesty slippers!"

"Yeah yeah!"

As soon as they heard that the army could be expanded to one million during the war, all the officials couldn't help discussing it, but the topic quickly shifted, starting from talking about the expansion of the army to one million and talking about Zhao Didan.

"quiet!"

Xianyang Palace Martial Guard Chief Pei Ji gave a cold drink with a solemn expression!

Chapter 528 Shengqin's 16-year budget!

All the officials shut their mouths and said nothing, and stopped discussing. After the Qilin Hall became quiet, Ying Chang continued to speak: "Jia Aiqing, keep talking!"

Yingchang was not particularly happy about Daqin's background of expanding its army to one million, because when it was time to expand its army to one million, Daqin must have encountered a crisis of subjugation, otherwise it would not have expanded its army by one million, at least not now.

"Obey!" Jarrow bowed respectfully and saluted, then straightened his back, and said in a calm tone: "Report to Your Majesty, as of December 15th, 15th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the 30th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty A total of 14 mu of fertile land has been increased, and Shengqin must have decreased by 28 mu in [-] years!"

"Today, the total fertile land in the seven counties of Daqin has reached 110 million mu, including 120 million mu in Hebei County, 110 million mu in Hedong County, 110 million mu in Huainan County, 150 million mu in Nanyang County, and 130 million mu in Guangfeng County. Mu, 50 million mu in Hexi County, [-] mu in Shangyang County!"

"Except for Guangfeng County and Hexi County, which have entered the bottleneck period of fertile land growth, Hebei County, Hedong County, Huainan County, and Nanyang County have all entered the bottleneck period, with an average annual growth of less than [-] mu. [-] mu of fertile land has reached the standard!"

When Jia Luo said this, he paused for a moment, subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Haiyou who was in the official queue, and the officials involuntarily raised their eyes to look at the latter, as if they were all saying, where did your water conservancy repair go? , it has no effect at all.

Jiang Haiyou knew what Baiguan and Jia Luo meant when they looked at him, and he couldn't help but feel speechless. How could it be so fast? The Ministry of Industry only started construction in September, and it has only been four months since then. A lot of canals have been repaired. But there is still a long way to go to the water.

Jia Luo turned his head back and continued to look at Ying Chang and reported: "Your Majesty, in the 15th year of Shengqin, our Daqin once again ushered in a bumper harvest, and Daqin's financial revenue reached a new high again. According to the repeated statistics of the Ministry of Households, Shengqin The grain tax for 15 years is 900 million shi, which is 14 million shi more than that of Sheng Qin in 100 years!"

"The salt tax is 580 million taels of silver, which is 14 million taels more than that of Shengqin in 100 years. The commercial tax is 500 million taels of silver, which is 13 million taels more than that of Shengqin in 200 years. The tariff is 1000 million taels of silver. 14 million taels of silver more than Sheng Qin in 200 years!"

"The government of the seventeen counties outside the customs sold a total of 120 million cattle, with a profit of 640 million taels of silver, an average of 12 taels of silver per head, 200 million sheep, and a profit of 600 million taels of silver, with an average of 100 taels of silver per head. With 1000 million horses, a profit of 240 million taels of silver, an average of [-] taels of silver per horse, a total profit of [-] million taels of silver!"

"In the 15th year of Shengqin, the Ministry of Households and Commercial Division was building seven factories at its own expense, two wineries, two textile factories, and three leather factories. Now the Ministry of Accounts and Commercial Division has a total of 800 factories, with an annual profit of 15 million taels of silver. The envoys of the Yan Empire also paid 1000 taels of silver at the end of November in the 15th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, and the total financial revenue of the 900th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty was 120 million grains and [-] million taels of silver!"

"After Shengqin's 15-year fiscal revenue was filled into the treasury, the treasury now has 7000 million shi grains, 770 million silver, and 48 taels of gold!"

In fact, this year's fiscal revenue is a fiscal deficit. The Ministry of Industry alone took away 7000 million taels of silver. Fortunately, the Qin State treasury is rich, with 7000 million taels of silver missing, and more than 6 million to 700 million taels silver.

It's cool to have a thick family background!

"I see!" Ying Chang waved his hand with a smile and said.

Jia Luo bent down and raised his hands to salute, and retreated to his seat. Jia Luo stood back in the queue, while the prime minister on the right, Chang Zifei, took a small step forward, bowing down respectfully and solemnly to report: "Report Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied softly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the end of the Kyushu Feast Ceremony, all countries have purchased a total of 100 B-rat crossbows from Daqin, and all the [-] B-rat crossbows have been delivered, and the payment of [-] million taels of silver has been fully received. However, the money has not yet been paid. I want to use the money for the National Treasury in time, and I want to use this money for the Chinese Academy, and it will not be counted in this year's budget, it will be an extra sum of money!" Chang Zifei replied with a solemn expression.

The benefits of the Chinese Academy have already been seen by the military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. It is definitely a great policy that benefits the country and the people. This kind of policy should be supported with all your strength. Chang Zifei is going to give the 100 million taels of weapons sold to him. The middle school recruits students and teachers from all over the world.

As long as there is enough money, there will be better and more benefits, which will attract students and talents from all over the world.

Hearing what Chang Zifei said, Zhang Feizi immediately gave Chang Zifei a grateful look.

Although the Chinese Academy is not short of money now, but with the money, it will have the confidence to do more things. The 100 million taels in the national treasury is just a drop in the bucket, but in the Chinese Academy, it is a huge sum of money, which can save seven people in Daqin Pass. Upgrade all the county schools once, oh no, five upgrades are enough.

"I'm sure!" Ying Chang said proudly, without any hesitation.

In Ying Chang's eyes, the current 100 million taels of silver is only a dime in nine years.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhang Feizi bowed down to express his thanks, and the rest of the officials bowed down to salute in unison, flattering Yingchang.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce!" Chang Zifei bowed respectfully again and saluted.

Ying Chang nodded, indicating to continue talking.

Chang Zifei took out a memorial from his bosom and presented it with both hands. Pei Ji, who was standing next to Ying Chang, strode down the high platform immediately, took the memorial in Chang Zifei's hand with both hands, then walked up the high platform, and presented it to Ying Chang with both hands. Chang, Ying Chang took the memorial and took a look, it was a budget memorial!

Ying Chang opened the memorial at a leisurely pace, and his sharp eyes shot back and forth on the memorial.

The content of the memorial is as follows:

Ministry of War: The budget of the Ministry of Ordnance is 1000 million taels of silver, the budget of the army is 200 million taels of silver, 500 million shi of grain, and the daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of War is 10 taels of silver!

Ministry of Rites: The daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of Rites is 10 taels of silver!

Household Department: The 360 counties in the Northwest Desert need 21 million shi of grain to maintain, and the average distribution of grain to each county is 300. The expenditure budget is 10 taels of silver!

Ministry of Punishment: The daily expenditure budget of the Ministry of Punishment is 15 taels of silver.

Ministry of Industry: The national water conservancy and road repair project has been paid in one lump sum, and there is no need to increase the budget. This year, the Ministry of Industry only has daily expenses of 10 taels of silver!

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 529 General Anyuan's War Letter!turn down!

Ministry of Officials: The Ministry of Officials has a daily budget of 15 taels of silver for one year.

Preparatory camp: 80 taels of silver, 60 shi of grain.

Middle School: 300 million taels of silver!

The sum of the 16-year financial budget of the Great Qin Empire: 940 million taels of silver and 920 million shi of grain.

Excluding this year's budget, the treasury currently has 80 million shi of grain, 8305 million taels of silver, and 48 taels of gold!

After reading the budget memorial, Ying Chang closed the budget memorial and handed it to Pei Ji standing beside the dragon chair with one hand. Pei Ji bowed respectfully, took the memorial with both hands, and then walked down the high platform to return the memorial to Chang. After Zifei and Chang Zifei accepted the memorial, Ying Chang replied in a neutral tone:

"I have no objection to this year's budget, so let the Ministry of Households allocate funds for food adjustment according to the budget memorial!"

"Observe the order!" Chang Zifei bowed respectfully and saluted, and then retreated to his seat.

Ying Chang glanced around the group of ministers, and then said calmly: "If there is nothing wrong with you, dear ministers, then retreat from the court!"

Today is the Spring Festival, Ying Chang is going to take a day off, spend a whole day with the concubines in the harem, and then have a reunion dinner.

As soon as Ying Chang's words fell, Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped out of the queue, stood in the center of the hall, bowed to Ying Chang with a respectful and solemn expression, and made a report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Ying Chang glanced at Yang Ze and thought to himself, Daqin Wuzhan, what could happen to his Ministry of War.

"Quasi-playing!" Ying Chang replied softly with no expression on his face.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Anyuan of the Wujin camp sent a letter of invitation last night!" Yang Ze replied with a solemn expression and saluted.

Ok?

Ying Chang raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with doubts, and the rest of the officials were also staring at each other, please challenge?What is General Anyuan doing!

"Why do you want to fight?" Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze calmly and asked.

Yang Ze heard Yingchang's question, and immediately bowed down and saluted and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Anyuan said that the Jin Empire has been greatly created since the Qin-Jin War; the Yan-Zhao-Jin War; and the Xiongnu War. Gradually restore national power, and now our Qin army is strong and strong, Wujin [-] soldiers are ready to fight, and the [-] grassland army in the northern Shanxi camp is on standby at any time. If we launch a war against Jin, we will be able to wipe out the entire Jin Empire with a devastating force!"

"General Anyuan also said that if the Great Qin does not destroy Jin, it may be difficult for the Great Qin to defeat the Jin Empire when the strength of the Jin Empire recovers, and it will only cause more casualties. Your Majesty also asks for a lesson and orders the Jin Empire to be destroyed!"

After Yang Ze had finished conveying the words of General Anyuan Luo Xing, all the ministers showed approval on their faces, and they couldn't help discussing with their colleagues beside them.

"What General An Yuan said is unreasonable!"

"Yeah, well said!"

"It has been eight years since the battle between Qin and Jin. In eight years, the Jin Empire has recovered some of its national power. If it continues to develop, it will soon return to its peak. After all, the current Emperor Jin and Qiu Yixiao are not the same. Yongjun and mediocre ministers!"

"It's time to conquer Jin and destroy Jin. Our Great Qin has soldiers, food and strong generals. Destroying Jin will not be a problem!"

Ying Chang listened to the discussion of the officials, and couldn't help but fell silent. His brows fell into deep thought. The Ninth Five-Year Lord sitting on the dragon chair has the right to say, at most they just have an opinion and a request.

"Your Majesty, the minister opposes attacking Jin!"

At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice came, and I saw Jiang Haiyou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, walking out of the official queue with a solemn expression and standing in the center of the hall.

Ying Chang looked up at Jiang Haiyou, and asked in a neutral tone, "Why?"

Jiang Haiyou first raised his hand to compose a salute, and then said eloquently: "Reporting to Your Majesty, our Daqin is conducting an unprecedented large-scale repair of water conservancy roads, and has used all available labor. If we launch a war against Jin at this time, we must not Less labor is needed to escort supplies, and once labor is used, the water conservancy and road projects of the Ministry of Industry will lag behind!"

"I'm not talking big. The national power of my Great Qin and the Jin Empire is not the same. The former is one sky, and the latter is one land. Even if the Jin Empire is given another ten years, my Great Qin will destroy Jin in just a snap of the fingers. Please also Your Majesty, think twice!"

The left and right prime ministers Zhang Feizi and Chang Zifei nodded silently, obviously agreeing with this point of view, now is not the time to attack Jin.

"What Jiang Aiqing said is very true and reasonable. Now is indeed not the time to conquer Jin!" Ying Chang also nodded in agreement with Jiang Haiyou's point of view. The current Great Qin Empire is already a bit laborious because of the national water conservancy road project. If at this time To launch a war is to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the melons, and the gains outweigh the losses!

"Yang Aiqing!" Ying Chang immediately called softly!

"The minister is here!" Yang Ze hurriedly bent over and responded.

"Tell General Anyuan to train hard!" Ying Chang said calmly.

"Train hard?" Yang Ze was taken aback for a moment, then said in a dumb voice, "Just these four words? No more?"

He thought that Ying Chang would say a lot of admonitions to Luo Xing, but he didn't expect that with just these four words, why did he feel a little hasty?

Ying Chang smiled lightly, "No more, just four words!"

These four words are enough.

"I obey the order!" Yang Ze bent down and responded, then retreated to his stand.

After Yang Ze retreated to his seat, no minister stood up to play. Ying saw the situation, and pointed his eyes at Pei Ji who was standing beside him. Pei Ji nodded slightly proudly, and then yelled to the officials with a solemn expression: " Play if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

All the military officials knelt down on the ground in unison, kneeling and saluting and shouting in unison: "I wait to send you off to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Ying Chang slowly got up from the dark and carved dragon throne, walked down the high platform step by step, and took Pei Ji out of the Qilin Hall from the back hall. Good colleagues go together and leave the majestic and sacred Qilin Palace!

After the dynasty was over, the military guards of Xianyang Palace who were guarding outside the palace, under the leadership of Xu Shui, the Chief of Zhongwu Guards, circled a big circle and had a round with Ying Chang Pei Ji!

After Xu Shui was dry, the military guards of Xianyang Palace and Ying Chang Pei Ji had a round, Ying Chang stepped on the eunuch's back and got on the noble dragon drive.

"Go to Ganquan Palace, and send another person to send a message to let Concubine Tang Xian, Zhao Mingyi, Tian Mingyuan, and Concubine Wei Yi come to Ganquan Palace. By the way, I can't forget my Bei'er. Today is a rare day off. I want to accompany them well. !"

Ying Chang, who was sitting on top of the dragon, looked at Pei Ji, who was standing under the dragon, and said.

"Obey!" Pei Ji replied respectfully, and then sent four people to the harem to deliver the message.
